Pen tool bad driving

Hey guys, I know other people have had this problem and I wonder if anyone has found a solution.  It seems that the pen tool is trying to "intelligently" to decide if I want to start a new mask, or add a vertex, and I would have preferred that he didn't.  Given that my bed is very low, what is happening is that she assumed that I ALWAYS want to add a vertex.  It is a problem that was before minor irritation, but now is what makes my job nearly impossible.

is it possible to force AE do not to switch "adds a Summit?

Workaround: you can go to the previous hide properties and BLOCK them.

  • Pen tool, some paths, basic shapes, etc.

    Hi, first sorry for my bad English.

    I bought the ipad pro and pencil to apple, when it came out last year, trying to replace my macbook and imac in illustration and design work. I hope that Adobe, as one of the major design software developer, would a pro for us software "artists" in a few months. Not need to be too pro version full of mac os, but at least something that works for all kinds of artists:

    1 - drawings of hands free

    or

    2 precise geometric designs

    The first option in this version of works "Illustrator draws" regular, not great and not bad. We can make several good designs, the quality is good. But whenever I need a more specific move, small details. Frustration begins: no path, no selector to move a part of the drawing (just move the entire layer), etc.

    In the second option "illustrator draw" is simply not do work with this kind of artists (my case). I hate to be repetitive, but all I can say is that I tried to work with adobe apps with my ipad pro and apple pencil. And it is impossible (for my kind and style of work).

    I downloaded graphic Autodesk and Protosketch. Two of them, it is much MUCH better that Illustrator draws, I can get the end result in both entities. There's the pen, Bezier work tool just fine, select traced, paint, paint, move, align, insert the position and scale, remove and what I want is possible with these applications.

    So my question is, why adobe do not develop an app that make already what these apps do for years?

    Where is the pen tool (Bézier, etc.)? where selection points? where is the base of any vector software?

    Hi Lucas,.

    I'm sorry to have taken so long to answer. Thanks for posting.

    When the draw was created, it has been designed as, well, adjuvant to Illustrator CC. something that would allow people to start a project away from the desktop computer, and then complete it on the desktop.

    People have started using it to learn more. That has intensified since the introduction of the iPad from Apple Pro and a pencil and we receive many requests and suggestions to make the application more "useful". And we take them seriously with regard to the evolution of the draw. That said, despite the fact that they are requested with a certain regularity, I am not sure that the plan is to incorporate an Illustrator - Bézier or the selection tools in the app. I would like to have more information for you...

    I pass all comments along to the team produced and I'll share yours, in its entirety, with them also.

    Thanks again for taking the time to post.

  • Text changes color without reason as part of comic text pen tool

    Hi, I came across a problem that is really stumping me - I drew a block of text with the pen tool and text want white to fill. I have change the white text, but as soon as I select another object in the project, the color of the text changes to a pale gray. It's incredibly annoying and I'd be happy to help. Thank you!

    Well, just thought about it - for some reason the default opacity on objects is set at 50%, causing the pale text - then, too bad.

  • Pen tool CS6 and confusion of path

    Hi again all,

    It's driving me crazy! Everyone has noticed this with the pen tool?

    If I have 2 anchor points with a curve, I always used to be able to grasp the (elastic) path between the 2 points and then drag to change the shape and size of the curve, keeping the angle of the axis the same tip.

    It was great, and I've developed a style that I find very fast and very accurate using this method.

    However now in CS6, when I take the path and drag, it changes the angle of the axis points completely change the shape of my way. Also when I take the path, sometimes to the point also will start moving! as it is not actually embedded... I used to be able "roll" the path in a curve... now he dragged it away.

    Illustrator CS6 works as I want what he... Try it for yourselves. Create a square with the stylus, then add a point in the middle of 2 of the edges and remove the origin point in between (you will need create axis points yourself in illustrator). Now you should have 4 points and a curve... Drag the path and see the difference between illustrator and Psalm.

    I can't stop this behavior? its causing me so much grief!... I know that there will be lots of people saying simply click and drag to create the curve but after 10 years of doing it this way, it will be a little difficult to do!

    Cheers in advance

  • Pen tool problem

    I'm having a problem with the pen tool recently. the pen tool doesn't let me do the sharp edges or horns.

    for example.

    I try to do that.

    Screenshot_6.png

    And I am doing this: I

    Screenshot_7.png

    See how the pen tool will not let me do the curve?

    It is a huge problem, because I want to do logos and I can't.

    If I'm doing something wrong, or using the wrong tool please tell me the correct way.

    I should also add the alternative way (which seems a bit lengthy compared to above, but who can help with a different design)

    Start up and going counterclockwise

    Click on the highest point of the page

    Click the second (straight line)

    Click on the third (straight line)

    Click and drag in the fourth (to create the curve)

    ALT click on the fourth point, which you have just created (which removes the handle facing forward)

    Click and drag to the fifth (to create the curve)

    ALT click on the fifth (to remove the handle facing forward)

    Click on items 6 and 7 (straight)

    Click and drag the 8 (curve)

    ALT click on the 8th (removes the handle facing forward)

    Click and drag the 9 (curve)

    ALT click 9 (to remove the handle facing forward)

    Click on the 10th (straight line)

    Click on the starting point (straight line to close the loop)

  • Pen tool: how to trace node

    For example, if I wan to draw

    -------->

    I would click to create a starting node. Move to the right, then create another node to form a line.

    Then I'd go diagonal to the left, but then I can't go back sharp part of the arrow to draw a diagonal line to the bottom left.

    Is there a way? I want to create an animation of an arrow is designed to help connect the tracks.

    Using the pen tool is slightly different than in Illustrator or Photoshop. My technique is to select the tool pen (g) then use Alt/Option and Ctrl/Cmnd to change the pointer. If you have trouble positioning of a Summit so you can place it anywhere with the default pen then select the point using the Ctrl/Cmnd key as a modifier and move it to a new location, then continue drawing.

    The only problem with alignment or placing a vertex directly on top of the other, is that it is very difficult to make diaper changes.

    My technique would be to shoot an arrow on paper first and decide how I naturally attracts it. Then, I'd probably use two shots, one for the line and a dash v under the arrow head shaped. I start to draw the arrow from the point, then back up and add the V.

    The other option would be to draw the line to change direction and move the pen to the back, then down, then to the point of creating a kind of arrow head closed. If you use two paths you can put them in the same shape layer and then add the trim paths to complete the animation with just two keyframes and the paths will be deleted in the order.

    The other option would be to draw the arrow in a full form not with a stroke, if you have a nice looking arrow. Then I would add suddenly to the model which was broad enough to cover the entire arrow, then apply trim paths to this feature and use it as a track matte to reveal the arrow. Everything depends on the design.

    I'm adding a chart and try to hide a file HAVE with the pen tool. As soon as I click on the tool pen under the control of opacity effect, a small portion of the image is cropped on the right side. Even when I finished the mask, he trims still on the right side.

  • Pen tool in Ultra key

    When a green screen overlay with "Ultra key", I use the pen tool to select the person who I want to composite.  After the outline of the person, I would expect the peripheral green screen to turn black as if I was using a cache of transparency.  But nothing happens.  The person exists inside the outline of pen tool but the entire screen stays green.  However, when I use the pen tool in the "Opacity" effect, the space outside the Pen becomes black.  This is the effect I want to see when you use the pen in the Ultra masking effect.  Using the tool feather Ultra mask key in the effect on the area outside the area parked (as with the opacity effect)?

It also did not work in After Effects, but I installed Quicktime Alternative and the pen tool has started working again in Ae but not PR. was an error message that has not been installed Quick time and some components would not work. But the time of Quick ALT set who. Am I missing something?

  • Features of the line of my mouse and the pen tool are thicker than my tablet.

    Hello, I have just built a new computer and tried drawing in Photoshop but it turns out that my features of line of my mouse and the pen tool appear to be twice as thick as my Tablet features. I am currently using the Wacom Intuos small Pen & Touch tablet. I messed with the settings and put sensitivity to pressure for setting low to make sure that I get a fixed size for each shot, so it's probably a sensitivity problems. I don't have this problem with my last computer when I used the same Tablet and the program Photoshop I use now. Does anyone have suggestions about how can I fix? Thank you for your time.

    Occam's razor would tell us that it is almost certainly a problem with spring pressure.

    Or the other of the two first round brushes by selecting in the brush Panel must ensure pencil and mouse identical brush sizes.

    The other thing to look at is the options bar.  The other icon highlighted in red, is the pressure change opacity.

    You can use both at the same time.
